I see you mention the 2.5 & 3.0 engines a lot... do you have any view on re-chips for the 2.6 ?

Yep, but your talking remap rather than re chips as the maps are in flash memory rather than an eprom chip.

3.2 defiantly worth remapping, especially with TB's and Exhaust mods, got some 3.2 remap coming soon but trying to balance the power with improved economy at the moment as they just seem to drink the stuff.

Currently have a 2.6 remap on the shelf we are playing with, definite improvement, but still early stages at the moment.

I would think, that some old fashioned re-tuning would be neede to make it have more power (cams, valves, inlet ports, exhaust ports, manifolds, new frontal section of the exhaust, adjustable ignition, ECU, fuel injection and cam timings). New camshafts would be essential, when you need to have more power. To have more response, the whole inlet system should be modified, I've read from somewhere, that these V6's are suffering from too restricted airflow. So that should need mods too. And the flywheel:

Torque = Heavier <---> Lighter = Better engine response/lighter revving, so I'd go for full steel flywheel, that can be lightened slightly. If you lighten it too much, the idle suffers a lot, it won't be that smooth 500-600 anymore.

Just some thoughts.
